Kosovo citizen suspected of murdering his partner in Germany surrenders

Following the violent death of a 32-year-old woman in Oberhausen, her 47-year-old partner has been arrested. He will stand trial in Duisburg.

Suspicion has been confirmed against the man, who also lives in Oberhausen. That's why he has been wanted since Saturday, according to the prosecution.

The Kosovar turned himself in to a police station in Kehl, Baden-Württemberg, on Sunday evening.

The 32-year-old was found dead in her apartment on Friday evening. City officials had previously wanted to meet her there. But the woman did not open the door, faz.net writes. The police, who were later notified, found the body in the apartment.

An autopsy later revealed an "unnatural death," police say.

The woman died as a result of violence. The police and the public prosecutor's office have not yet provided details about the course of events and the background to the crime, albinfo.ch reports. These are part of the ongoing investigations.

The 47-year-old presented himself at a police station in Kehl (Baden-Württemberg) on ​​Sunday evening and was arrested there. Late on Monday afternoon (April 14), he was to be brought before a judge at the Duisburg District Court at the request of the Duisburg Public Prosecutor's Office.

The case has caused outrage and anger across the country over the weekend. Over the weekend, suspicions about the woman's 47-year-old partner increased, with the Kosovar citizen from Oberhausen being sought since Saturday.

The tragic case is still mysterious in many respects, albinfo.ch reports. The exact background and course of events are now part of the ongoing investigation, reports the Essen police, which takes over the investigations in serious cases such as murder for the relatively small authority of the Oberhausen district police.

According to a spokesman for the city of Oberhausen, youth welfare workers left with the two children on Friday when no one answered the door. The youngest child was still at daycare at the time and had not been picked up by her mother.

According to information from the newspaper Bild, the murdered mother's partner is suspected of having been known for violent attacks before.
